-Like other songs recorded for "''[[Pinkerton]]''," "Devotion" was originally intended for "''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''."  When that concept was abandoned in favor of the Puccini-inspired end result, the song was lost in the shuffle and not chosen for inclusion on the album. The band did record it during the album's sessions, however, and issued it as a B-side for retail editions of "[[El Scorcho]]."
+Devotion was initially recorded in July 1994 as a demo in [[the garage]], twice, once as "proto-devotion". It later resurfaced, intended for "''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''."  When that concept was abandoned in favor of the Puccini-inspired end result, the song was lost in the shuffle and not chosen for inclusion on the album. The band did record it during the album's sessions, however, and issued it as a B-side for retail editions of "[[El Scorcho]]."
 "Devotion" is one of the slowest songs [[Weezer]] recorded in this early 90s period. The lyrics express fondness of a platonic nature giving way to romantic love.
